Wow, Trump is actually defending Putin from the charges of ordering the murder of Alexander Litvinenko:
Trump told Fox Business News in defense of Putin that: “They say a lot of things about me that are untrue too… First of all, he [Putin] says he didn’t do it. Many people say it wasn’t him. So who knows who did it? Have they found him guilty? I don’t think they’ve found him guilty. If he did it, fine but I don’t know that he did it… But in all fairness to Putin – and I’m not saying this because he says ‘Trump is brilliant and leading everybody’ – the fact is that he hasn’t been convicted of anything.”
That’s pretty deranged at this point. I thought that nobody but the most marginal folks with no access to any information at all were interested in defending Putin any longer.
There seems to be no reason for Trump’s willingness to die on Putin’s sword than the one Trump himself clumsily revealed*: Trump will lick the boots of anybody who praises him. And that’s not only pathetic but dangerous. Everybody has personal issues but when one’s psychological baggage becomes so heavy, one gets very dangerous to others.
*Whenever anybody says, “Please don’t think I’m XYZ”, you can safely assume they are very much XYZ and are dying to reveal it to you.

The article that you linked to is well-written, but the author is wasting his time engaging in a serious, detailed analysis of anything that trumps says.
Trump spouts gibberish all the time — and certainly knows that what he’s spouting in nonsense. But he doesn’t care, because his rapid follows won’t care either.

He cares about things that involve his wounded ego. And Putin’s praise is precious to him. We won’t be able to tear it away from his cold, dead hands.
